To be fair, I'm sure all the candidates with any serious money in their war chests are using some sort of telemarketing, too.

Unfortunately, nothing can protect you from these calls, not even the National Do Not Call Registry -- the registry doesn't apply to political candidates.

telemarketing in Massachusetts. In the last week or so, I've received
three taped messages from Ann Romney asking me to vote for her husband. It's getting annoying.
